The three ancient-looking books were still under Ao Tian's pillow. Tang San reached in and immediately felt them.
He suppressed his excitement and pulled the books out.
What shocked him was the weight of the books. Together, they weighed no less than thirty pounds.
As expected of books containing the secrets of Soul Tools, they're quite extraordinary. My memory is pretty good, I'll memorize the content first, then write it down in my own room later, Tang San thought to himself.
He sat directly at the head of Ao Tian's bed and examined the appearance of each book.
The first book's cover read: 108 Top-Tier Offensive Soul Tool Designs (One).
The second book's cover read: 108 Top-Tier Offensive Soul Tool Designs (Two).
The third book was the thickest, with the title: Soul Tool Knowledge from Beginner to Mastery.
"There are actually one hundred and eight top-tier offensive Soul Tools, and it also has Soul Tool knowledge from beginner to mastery."
Just from looking at the cover, Tang San's excitement was already difficult to contain.
In his opinion, these three books were simply treasures for Soul Masters. With the knowledge within, establishing a super power would be a piece of cake.
Tang San's hand carefully rubbed over the cover, occasionally tapping it to feel the material.
He found it strange; the cover was clearly made of paper, yet how could it be so heavy?
Tang San was extremely sensitive to materials. After observing for a while, he confirmed that the cover was indeed just ordinary paper.
"Being able to make a paper book so heavy must be due to Soul Tool technology. This Soul Tool technology is truly amazing," Tang San thought, secretly pleased. He couldn't wait to open the cover.
"Huh?" Tang San was suddenly stunned.
He couldn't open the cover of the book!
After a moment of bewilderment, he tried again, gradually increasing his strength, but still couldn't even open the cover.
"How can this be?"
Tang San put down the book in his hand and tried the other two, but the situation was the same. No matter how hard he tried, the book covers wouldn't budge, as if a powerful suction force within the books was holding the covers together.
"Could these three books also be Soul Tools?" Tang San frowned, thinking to himself.
It was certainly possible, otherwise, why would they be so heavy?
A smile appeared on Tang San's face. As long as they were Soul Tools, it would be easy to handle.
As everyone knew, the way to use a Soul Tool was to inject Soul Power into it. Storage Soul Tools worked this way, and so did the attack-type Soul Tools Ao Tian had used before.
Tang San channeled the Mysterious Heaven Skill Soul Power within his body, sending it through his palm and into the book he held.
"It really works!" Tang San's face lit up with joy. He could feel the book absorbing his Soul Power.
However, after two minutes, he began to feel puzzled.
The book's suction hadn't stopped, and the cover still wouldn't open.
Frowning, Tang San increased the output of his Soul Power. As a Soul Elder, he had a surging amount of Soul Power within him, which he believed was enough to activate the Soul Tool book.
Several more minutes passed, and Tang San started to become anxious because the suction from the book hadn't ceased.
How much longer would it take? Tang San was a little worried. He had been in Ao Tian's room for ten minutes already, and his time was limited. Every second was precious.
He gritted his teeth and increased his Soul Power output again.
"I, a Soul Elder, can't handle a single Soul Tool? I don't believe it."
However, another ten minutes passed, and the book's cover remained still, still absorbing Tang San's Soul Power.
Tang San's face was already slightly pale, and tiny beads of sweat were seeping from his forehead. His Soul Power consumption had already exceeded two-thirds.
Twenty minutes passed. Tang San realized he was now in a dangerous period; Ao Tian could return at any moment.
Damn it, twenty minutes and not even a single page turned? What's the deal? I can't have come here for nothing. I have to try my best to see how much Soul Power it takes to open this book.
Tang San steeled his resolve, intending to pour all of his remaining Soul Power into it.
He had to test where the book's Soul Power absorption limit was; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to open it next time.
Just then, he twitched his ears and heard Ao Tian's voice.
"Don't worry, Principal, I won't fight with other students privately," Ao Tian said.
"I feel relieved to hear that. You must cultivate diligently, or you'll be overtaken by Dai Mubai and Tang San, you know," Flender said.
Hearing the voices outside, Tang San was startled and began to panic.
The Principal was actually with Ao Tian. Although Tang San was confident he could leave without a sound, he still felt a sense of pressure.
He immediately stood up, picked up the other two books, stacked them together, and prepared to stuff them back under his pillow.
However, his expression quickly changed drastically.
The book into which he had injected Soul Power was still absorbing his Soul Power; he couldn't stop it at all. Even circulating his Mysterious Heaven Skill was useless. The Soul Power in his body was no longer under his control, and was frantically surging into the book.
The book also began to emit a faint light, which gradually became brighter. But the suction force it produced became even more terrifying. In just an instant, the Soul Power in Tang San's body was almost exhausted.
"Could this book be about to open?" Tang San thought, the strange behavior of the book giving him this idea, but he felt no excitement.
He didn't want to read it now, he just wanted to get out of here as quickly as possible.
Hearing the footsteps getting closer, Tang San's heart was in turmoil.
The book's suction was terrifying, sticking to his hand like a plaster, and absorbing his Soul Power at an alarming rate. He couldn't pull it off no matter how hard he tried.
Furthermore, he was horrified to discover that as the book's light grew brighter, its weight was also increasing exponentially.
One hundred pounds... three hundred pounds... one thousand pounds...
Bang! Tang San couldn't bear the weight of the book, and he crashed onto the wooden floor. The book, weighing several thousand pounds, also slammed to the ground, making a huge noise.
Outside, Flender said amiably, "I'll be leaving now, you all go back to your training."
Beside Flender stood Zhao Wuji. They had been eating in the cafeteria when they ran into Ao Tian and the others. After finishing their meal, they all walked back together.
As soon as Flender finished speaking, a loud bang came from Ao Tian's room.
"What's going on?" Everyone looked towards Ao Tian's room, the question flashing through their minds.
"What's going on? What exploded?" Oscar stormed out of the room next door to Ao Tian's, shouting angrily.
He had been in meditation, cultivating. Meditation required quiet and concentration. That loud noise had pulled him out of his cultivation state and almost caused him to become mentally unstable.
In the next room over, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun also emerged. They had also heard the loud bang and then Oscar's shout.
"Ao Tian, the sound came from your room," Xiao Wu said.
Zhao Wuji frowned. "What's going on? Let's go in and see."
